Planting and care

The general rule for planting is to cover the bulb with soil to 3 times its vertical diameter. Keep planting depth at 6 to 8 inches and planting spacing should be 4 to 6 inches.
Set them upright at the bottom of the hole, tops up (pointed side up), and space properly. After planting water thoroughly to settle the soil and to encourage the start of root growth. After they bloom in the spring, allow the plants to grow until they die off. They need time after blooming to store energy in the bulbs for next year.

Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade

Soil: They are not fussy about soil as long as it is loose and well drained. To improve drainage in heavy soils, deeply dig in plenty of organic matter prior to planting.

Water: Water newly planted bulbs thoroughly. In many regions, fall and winter are wet or snowy enough to provide moisture. Plants do not need summer moisture.

Fertilizer: Daffodils do not require heavy fertilization. When preparing the beds, use 2 to 3 pounds of a complete garden fertilizer such as a 6-24-24 or other fertilizer with a 1:4:4 or 1:3:3 N-P-K ratio.

Caring for Daffodil Twinkle

Apply a low-nitrogen, high-potash fertilizer after flowering if bulbs are not performing.

Water late-flowering daffodils in dry spring weather (flowers may abort in dry conditions).

Keep plantings well watered if precipitation fails; continue until the foliage begins to yellow.
